"I can't remember how many times I've read this book and then it goes back on the shelf only to be retrieved when I need to read something that will bring a smile to my face. The subtitle to the book "Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah" has always intrigued me. Told in parable form the gems are found in a handbook that one of the characters has. These "quotes" from the book are easily remembered and when pondered, have deep meaning. The book is an easy, quick read and for many, has the potential to inspire. You may just view your own reluctance as you recognize your role in life."
"I came across this book in my house one day going through some things that I had inherited from my boys grandmother. It seemed like a rather odd book to be in her collection and I was curious so I started to read it.. It was different than anything i expected but I did not put it down until I was finished. It left me feeling renewed and inspired! I would recommend this to anyone on a journey of self discovery!"
Pg. Quoted 49 The best way to avoid responsibility is to say, "I've got responsibilities." 75 Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours. 90 Negative attachments... If you really want to remove a cloud from your life, you don't make a big production out of it; you just relax and remove it from your thinking. 92 You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it however. 96 Nothing good is a miracle, nothing lovely is a dream. 99 "But it is so hard to put everything so precisely..." "Just because something is hard, you don't try to do it? Walking was hard at first, but you practiced at it and now you make it look easy." 118 Being responsible is able to respond, able to answer for the way we choose to live. There's only one person we have to answer to, of course, and that is ourselves. We don't even have to answer to ourselves, if we don't feel like it... There is nothing wrong with being irresponsible. But most of us find it more interesting to know why we act as we do... You are going to lose 90% of your audience unless you learn to keep it short! 121 Here is a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: If you're alive, it isn't. 129 Anybody who has ever mattered, anybody who's ever been happy, anybody who's ever given any gift into the world has been a divinely selfish soul, living for his own best interest; no exceptions."
""Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Being true to anyone else or anything else is not only impossible, but the mark of a fake messiah." "Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in a while, and watch your answers change." "There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands. You seek problems because you need their gifts." "If you really want to remove a cloud from your life, you do not make a big production out of it, you just relax and remove it from your thinking. That's all there is to it." "If you will practice being fictional for a while, you will understand that fictional characters are sometimes more real than people with bodies and heartbeats." "Like attracts like. Just be who you are, calm and clear and bright. Automatically, as we shine who we are, asking ourselves every minute is this what I really want to do, doing it only when we answer yes, automatically that turns away those who have nothing to learn from who we are and attracts those who do, and from whom we have to learn, as well." "Just give up all your inhibitions and all your beliefs that you can't.""
